Classroom management professional learning resources

About these resources

Effective classroom management creates safe, supportive and inclusive learning environments for all students. School leaders play an integral role in establishing and maintaining these environments by fostering a shared understanding and consistent application of effective practice across the school. 

These resources are designed to help school leaders lead staff in professional learning to support a whole-school approach to classroom management using the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO)’s foundational classroom management resources. AERO’s foundational classroom management resources are based on a synthesis of the most rigorous and relevant research evidence and guidance from a wide range of experts, including researchers and practitioners across Australia and internationally.
